Wow. Very interesting. I'm for Biden, but I have to give her credit. If she's as crafty at handling foreign policy in the middle east, the radical Islamists may not know what hit them.

I take it this is due to the writers strike? It would make sense because now her writers can't write the questions for those planted audience members.

Can somebody tell me Ms Clinton's three major accomplishments while on political stage? Exactly, other than covering for the sexual predator, there isn't a single thing that comes to the mind, because there's nothing to note.

If she weren't running for president, she would have crossed the picket line. This is politics at its best. She makes appear that she cares about labor, but will give their jobs away with the next free trade agreement.

Bear in mind these aren't your average strikers, they're TV writers. She has to keep herself on Hollywood's good side. Gotta keep those funds coming in. It would look really bad if she crossed the line.

To be fair, I can't see any of the candidates crossing the line. I can imagine Kucinich picking up a sign and joining the strikers, although he would probably be the only candidate to do so.

"America's unions are the backbone of America's middle class and I will always stand with America's working men and women in the fight to ensure that they are able to earn a fair wage,"

Unless the unions stand in the way of another Pro-Corporate SHAFTA (NAFTA, CAFTA, etc) FREE TRADE DEAL!

I'm not a Hillary supporter -- quite the opposite. But when she does something good, she does something good. Kudos to her for honoring a picket line and publicizing the fact there has been on CBA for 2 and 1/2 years.

lol! She would if the debate was another at CNN. Maybe the CBS debate won't be quite so slanted in her favor.

Way to go Billary! Great move... not only do you avoid another debate melt down, you are portrayed as "one of the people".

Don't forget her being on the board of Walmart!

Good for Clinton.

Ronald Reagan began the decimation of the Union movement in this country. He fired all the members of PATCO and used "national security" as his cover.
The Teamsters and the rest did not support PATCO and the strike and the strikers were crushed.

Health care and safety standards have plummeted ever since. The Unions are still reeling.

It's about some time someone (besides true blue Kucinich) took a stand on behalf of Union members.

I hope Clinton's example will inspire others to do likewise.

...and of course all the smart-ass anti-Hillary gang jumps in with their stupid remarks to put her down. Me? I lost my job because of a strike and I know that the US has set up an anti-labor board that rules against most unions and that the US is the only developed nation other than S. Africa where you can be permanently replaced by scabs, making a strike in a bad economy a questionable thing. So good for her and let the snarky commenters examine their own credentials.

Thank you, Stephen, for making that point for me. It seems Hillary Clinton is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't by some people. If Edwards or Obama had announced this first, they would have been hailed as pro-Labor Messiahs of some kind.

It appears Senator Clinton is the Democratic front runner for a reason.

Her poll numbers are spiralling down - now she's afraid to debate. I guess unless CBS hires Wolf Blitzer she's finished debating the other candidates to let the public see who is authentic and who's a sham.

I'm calling Bullshit on this triangulating Goldwater Girl.

When Bill was Governor she sat on the Board of Wal-Mart, one of the most Union Hostile companies in the country. Arkansas was, and still is, a 'right to work' state.

Where were you when you were on the inside in a place where it really could have made a difference.

Ah, but will she cross the philosophical line when it comes time to vote on the Nafta expansion.
Of course she will.

A welcome and refreshing position. Let's see what dumb-shit, copy cat trip over my shoe laces move- Obama pulls.
